How to Identify Cockroaches in Your Bathroom
Appearance
Bathroom-invading cockroaches are often American or Oriental species. They have reddish-brown or dark brown bodies, long antennae, and can range from 1 to 2 inches in length. Their flattened shape allows them to hide easily in tight spaces.
Behavior
These cockroaches are drawn to moist, dark environments—making bathrooms ideal. They often hide under sinks, behind toilets, in drains, and inside wall or floor cracks. Nocturnal by nature, they come out at night in search of water and organic material.
Signs of Infestation
Look for droppings that resemble black pepper, egg casings near plumbing, a musty odor, or actual sightings—especially at night. Daytime activity usually signals a larger infestation.
Key Indicators of Cockroach Infestation in the Bathroom
Egg Casings Around Moist Areas
Cockroaches lay egg casings (oothecae) behind toilets, under sinks, and around pipe joints. These casings are brown and bean-shaped, and their presence is a strong indicator of breeding activity.
Droppings and Odors
You may notice small, dark droppings along baseboards, under bathroom cabinets, or near water sources. A persistent oily or musty smell often accompanies infestations.
Live Sightings in Damp Spaces
Spotting cockroaches near drains, inside cabinets, or crawling up bathroom walls is a sure sign. They’re often active at night, but large infestations may lead to daytime sightings.

How to Remove Cockroaches from Your Bathroom
Clean and Dry All Surfaces
Cockroaches thrive in moist areas. Wipe down counters, floors, and under-sink areas. Fix leaks and ensure proper ventilation to keep humidity low.
Seal Cracks and Plumbing Gaps
Inspect behind toilets, around sinks, and along baseboards for entry points. Seal cracks and gaps with caulk to block cockroach access.
Use Targeted Baits and Traps
Place gel baits and sticky traps near drains, baseboards, and under cabinets. Cockroaches are drawn to bait and will carry it back to their nests, helping control the population.
Hire a Pest Control Professional
For recurring or large infestations, professional exterminators can apply safe, bathroom-friendly treatments that eliminate cockroaches and prevent reinfestation.
Why Call a Professional Exterminator?

Inspection
During an inspection, an exterminator will look inside and outside the building with the pest problem. They will find common areas where cockroaches tend to enter the home and other areas where the cockroaches might be living. There are many tools that an inspector might use including a flashlight, a moisture meter, and other tools to determine where the pests are located.
Treatment
After inspection, the exterminator will determine what type of treatment is best for the building. Professionals cockroach removers will help you determine what needs to be done before they can remove the bugs. They can also help you determine how to protect your home and possessions from cockroaches while they prepare to exterminate the insects.
